Death by Chocolate Cake is a super indulgent chocolate cake recipe from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible. The name itself is enough to suggest that this is one seriously chocolately cake and I have to agree. I decided that this chocolate cake would make the perfect birthday cake for my daughter’s 10th birthday. The chocolate sponge is incredibly moist but would benefit from a bit more cocoa powder or maybe a little less golden syrup. However, the chocolate icing is amazing and the recipe is so easy I would definitely make it again but would tweak it slightly. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen the cake in the making.
Maybe I was mad but to celebrate my daughter’s big day I organised roller skating followed by pizza for her and her friends. What a crazy afternoon that was! I was completely shattered afterwards but my birthday girl had a fabulous time and loved her chocolatey birthday cake too.
Until next time.

Wow Julie, it looks scrumptious! ‘Death by Chocolate’ is definitely my kind of cake. x
Thanks Mel, it was delicious. In fact my daughter has requested it for her birthday next year. x
Yum, that looks delicious, although also quite rich. It looks like it would be nice with a scoop of vanilla icecream.
Thanks, hmm a scoop of ice cream would be indulgent but delicious.
You can’t beat a good chocolate cake & yours looks delicious x
